It has been at least four months since Arthit has seen Bright. When they first graduated from college, their whole gang tried to at least hangout once a month. However, as they got older, adulting got in the way. It was either Knot had family business to attend to, Prem was on location, Toota was traveling, or Arthit was too busy with work. Rarely were they able to all get together these days. And today is no different. Only three of the five of them will be here tonight.

Kongpob and Arthit gave Knot a ride to Bright's bar. The latter said he would just take a taxi back afterwards. Although, Kongpob offered to drive him back later, he declined. Knot knew his home was a bit out of the way from the city's center.

Since it's Sunday evening, the bar was pretty quiet. Arthit and Knot walked ahead chatting as Kongpob locked his car, and followed behind. As he was walking he noticed his laces had come untied, so he bent down to tie them. Arthit and Knot did not notice Kongpob had fell behind, and kept walking.

When Kongpob walked into the bar, he didn't see Arthit or Knot. He looked around, and the bar was a nice local bar that had a beachy theme to it. There were surfboards, kayaks, and paddles hung on the walls. Kongpob hasn't been to a local regular bar since college. All he ever goes to now are high-end lounges and pubs for social engagements.

"Hey handsome. Are you lost?" A beautiful girl with long black hair came up to Kongpob smiling seductively. She wore a red crop top, and black super short shorts that highlighted her mile long legs in her heels.

Arthit turned around to find Kongpob missing. He was so engrossed in telling Knot about how Chet the jerk had made a scene for him at the office, that he had somehow lost his boyfriend. Their usual table is at the very corner of the bar. They usually liked sitting there because it was more secluded, and it gave them a good view of the whole bar for people watching. Given that, Kongpob probably can't spot him, so he excused himself from Knot, and walked back to the front of the bar.

Arthit spotted Kongpob from across the room with a girl next to him. The girl definitely had more skin exposed than covered. A frown promptly made its way on Arthit's face. Even though he knows Kongpob really loves him, it still doesn't change the fact that Kongpob would still be attracted to women. Chiding at his own thoughts, he made his way across the bar. He really can't leave this man alone for more than a few minutes.

"Uhm, thanks. But I'll just call my friend. I know he is in here somewhere." Kongpob said as he pulled out his phone.

"Maybe I can help you look for him." The woman said as she grabbed Kongpob's arm.

"Honey, where did you go? I thought you were right behind me." Arthit went to grab Kongpob by his other arm with his phone still in hand.

"Oh, there he is. Thanks for your help anyway." Kongpob said to the woman who had a slight pout on her face.

Arthit shook his head, and pulled Kongpob along.

"Where did you go Kongpob? I lose you for a few minutes, and you are busy flirting." Arthit sighed.

"I swear I wasn't. I had to stop to tie my laces, and the next moment you guys were gone. And that lady was just trying to help." Kongpob tried to explain.

Arthit stopped, and turned around. "It's okay Kongpob. I'm not the only one that finds you attractive. I can live with that. Now, let's go sit down. Bright is on his way from home."

Arthit turned around to walk again, but Kongpob grabbed his hand yanking him back. Arthit turned to see Kongpob smiling at him. Kongpob pulled him closer, and whispered in his ear, "I only find you attractive now."

Arthit made a sour face at the cheesiness, and lightly hit Kongpob on the shoulder. "Like you suddenly don't like legs and boobs." Arthit challenged.

"I'm into ass now." Kongpob shrugged his shoulders, and stared at Arthit wiggling his brows.

Arthit laughed out loud. He dropped Kongpob's hand, and hooked his arm around his neck instead.

They walked over, and Knot had already ordered a bucket of beers. He looked up, and saw Arthit with his arm around Kongpob. He thinks to himself that he will have to get used to seeing Arthit this way. But he is more than happy for Arthit though. Their whole gang has been telling him for years to stop wasting time on Chet, but Arthit had always just ignored them. Prior to meeting Kongpob, Arthit didn't really give him much detail other than Chet and him had broken it off, and he was staying at a new friend's place until he found his own.

After meeting Kongpob, Knot can see the obvious appeal the man had. Kongpob was handsome, well dressed, well mannered, and had an air of confidence that draws everyone's attention. And the lad is definitely loaded if his car, and that bottle of wine they had was anything to go by.

Knot recognized that bottle of wine right away as it's one of the top shelf items behind Bright's bar. Bright has always said it's more for show than for sales as most customers won't buy it because it's 18,000 Bahts a bottle, and Arthit said he just grabbed one out of a case. Well, maybe it's time Arthit found a sugar daddy. Knot chuckled at his own thoughts. But what really impressed him was the way Kongpob was gentle, and kept Arthit smiling the whole night. Kongpob hung onto every single word that had to do with Arthit.

"Hey, what are you thinking about over there?" Arthit asked Knot as he opened a bottle of beer for Kongpob.

"Nothing. Bright said he is outside parking." Knot said taking a swig of his beer.

Not a moment later, two men laughing loudly walked up to their table.

"Guys! Look who I found outside?" Bright said loudly, and then his eyes landed on the stranger sitting at their table.

Knot and Arthit got up to hug Bright and Prem.

"Prem, when did you get back?" Arthit asked.

"Just this morning. I needed a drink, and I saw Bright said our souvenirs are here, so I stopped by. I didn't expect the two of yous to be here." Prem said as he released Arthit.

Kongpob sat there observing the four men interacting.

"So, who is this guy here? Did Toota get plastic surgery?" Bright asked tipping his chin towards Kongpob with a goofy wide smile.

"I know who he is. He's one of Thailand's top ten bachelors. I took your pictures before." Prem announced.

Kongpob got up, and extended his hand to the two men. "I'm Kongpob Suthilak. It's nice to meet you. And it's nice to see you again Prem. It is Prem, right?"

Prem took Kongpob's hand. "You remember me?" Prem asked with an astonished look. Prem remembered he couldn't have spent more than thirty minutes with this guy at the photo shoot.

"I'm pretty good with names and faces." Kongpob said as he retrieved his hand, and extended it to Bright.

However, instead of getting Bright's hand, he got a body crushing hug by the latter.

"Hello Mr. Gorgeous Bachelor. I'm Bright. I can swing that way for a hot bachelor like you. What about you?"

Knot harshly pulled Bright off Kongpob. "You shameless buffoon. Get off Arthit's man."

"What?!?" Bright was surprised by the sudden information.

"What happened to Chet? Did someone finally throw him over the bridge? Where did you find this bachelor Arthit?" Bright asked as he sat down.

"It's a long story for another time." Knot answered.

"We have just started dating. Okay? I found him in a café." Arthit said as his hand settled comfortably on Kongpob's thigh.

The unusual possessive action did not go unnoticed by all the guys. Arthit has always been the most protected friend of the group. They all took turns taking him in when he first left home. They were the same age, but they always treated him like a younger brother. Even Bright being the biggest goofball of the group was super protective of Arthit.

"Too bad Toota is not here. He would be so jealous." Prem said clinking his bottle with Knot's.

"Toota jealous? I'm jealous right here." Bright jokingly pouts.

"Stop that would you? It's not cute when you do it." Prem said laughing.

"You guys are funny." Kongpob said as he placed his hand on top of Arthit's.

"Don't mind these idiots." Arthit said.

"So, Kongpob. How old are you? Top ten bachelor of Thailand. That's quite an accomplishment." Prem said eyeing Kongpob.

Kongpob leaned forward. He can sense Prem trying to size him up just like Knot did earlier.

And just as he was about to answer Prem, he was interrupted by Bright.

"Dude! He is the NUMBER ONE bachelor of Thailand. Kongpob, it says here you are the youngest billionaire in Asia. You're also only fucking 29. What the heck? Which fancy ass café shop did you find him Arthit? I need to go there." Bright excitedly said waving his phone.

Knot and Prem both turned to look at Kongpob, and Arthit's reaction.

"That's highly exaggerated. I'm just a normal guy." Kongpob said as he popped a few peanuts in his mouth. Arthit just shrugged his shoulders like it's no big deal.

"I found him in his own café. Are you satisfied now? So, where's our souvenirs?" Arthit asked.

"Wait here a minute. I'll go get them. Arthit, come with me." Bright stood up, and walked to the back of the bar where his office was. Arthit got up shaking his head, and followed Bright. He knew Bright must have more questions for him.

"Kongpob, don't mind Bright. He is a loud idiot, but he is a good friend. Thicker than blood." Knot said.

"No worries. He is quite amusing." Kongpob said.

After a moment of awkward silence, Kongpob asked an unexpected question. "Do you guys know Ian? We ran into him earlier. "

Knot was surprised by the question, and Prem was confused.

"Ian? Who is Ian?" Prem asked. He has no idea, but he can tell from Knot's expression that Knot knew who Kongpob was referring to.

"It's not my place to say. All I can say is there has been many assholes in Arthit's life, and he is one of them." Knot said.

"Who?" Prem asked, but Knot shook his head to quiet Prem as Arthit and Bright came back to their table.

"Guys! Look at this awesome t-shirt I got for yous." Bright announced as he pulled out a black t-shirt featuring a cat that looked high on something.

"Why can't you ever get us something normal? I can't even where these shirts at home to sleep because my mother-in-law stays over a lot." Knot says as he laid the t-shirt against himself for size.

"Where's the fun in that?" Bright said rolling his eyes. "Come on, I know you guys loved the freezing balls t-shirt I got from Iceland, and the cheesey holes t-shirt from Switzerland." Prem nodded. He did like those t-shirts.

They shared a few more beers, and somewhat grilled Kongpob for more information. At the end of the night, they were pretty impressed with Kongpob. If anyone deserved a hot billionaire, it was Arthit. He has definitely paid his dues.

Kongpob was happy to have met Arthit's friends tonight. Gone was that feeling that Arthit didn't want anyone to know because he didn't believe they would last long enough to matter. However, Kongpob still couldn't get over that Ian guy. He really rubbed him the wrong way.
